MANUFACTURE OF QUILTED LINING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,717,,dated. April15, 1890. Application filed February 16, 1888. Renewed March 5 1890.Serial No. 342,805. (No model.)-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES T. WAGNER, of Brooklyn,county of Kings,State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement inthe Manufacture of Quilt-ed Linings, of which the following is aspecification.

It is very desirable to economically produce linings for garmentsquilted, so that rows of stitching will extend obliquely from edge toedge of the linings or sections of the linings. A common form of suchquilting is designated diagonal quilting.

Quilting of the kind referred to, as ordinarily produced, is quiteexpensive because of the difficulty of making it.

The object of my invention is to provide for producing such quiltingeconomically.

My improvement consists of a process for making quilted linings withrows of stitching extending obliquely between the edges, consisting incutting out pieces of face fabric, securing the same to a strip ofwadding in positions oblique with respect to the side edges of saidstrip of wadding, and quilting the wadding and the pieces attachedthereto with lines of quilting extending in the same general directionas the edges of the wadding.

The accompanying drawings represent the principal features of a machinewhich may be used in practicing my improvement.

Figure 1 is a plan or top View of such machine. Fig. 2 is a centralvertical longitudinal section of the same.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in bothfigures.

A designates a strip of wadding or like material.

B designates pieces of a face fabricsuch, for instance, as silk orsatin. These pieces are cut into shape suitable for forming, sections ofladies cloak-linings. The pieces or sections of lining B are secured inoblique positions to the strip of waddin They may be thus secured bytacking themwith mucilage or other adhesive substance at a suitablenumber of points to the strip of wadding or like material. Straightlines ofstitching extending parallel with the edges of the strip A will,owing to the oblique position of the pieces or sections of lining B uponsaid strip, extend diagonally of said pieces or sections.

The machine which I have illustrated consists, essentially, of aneedle-bar 0, having a single row of needles 0, which will operate withany of the ordinary adjuncts, and which have merely an up-and-downmotion.

The strip of wadding or like material having the pieces or sections oflining 13 secured to it will have a straightforward feed. In otherwords, it will move at right angles to the row of needles. Feed-rollersD and tension-rollers E serve to present and feed the strip, with thepieces or sections B upon it, properly beneath the needles. Obviouslythe needle-bar or the feed and tension rollers may have a lateralmovement, if desirable, so as to impart more or less sinuosity to thelines of stitching with which the goods will be quilted.

After the quilting has been done the strip of wadding or like materialmay be cut around the edges of the pieces or sections 13 as may berequisite. I do not wish to be understood that the face fabric must beout into the exact form of sections of lining before being treatedaccording to my improvement. Obviously it may be cut into any styles ofpieces, which maybe arranged obliquely, and subsequently cut to formsect-ions of linings.

By my invention diagonal quilting, which has heretofore been a difficultand expensive style of quilting to produce, may be performed in a verysimple and economical manner for linings of garments.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is- I The process of making quilted linings with rows of stitchingextending obliquely between the edges, consisting in cutting out piecesof face fabric, securing the same to a strip of wadding in positionsoblique with respect to the side edges of said strip of wadding, andquilting the wadding and the pieces attached thereto with lines ofquilting extending in the same general direction as the edges of thewadding, substantially as specified.
